$50,000 WAGE CUT BRANDED ‘BAD BUSINESS' Opposed as False Economy by Member of City Sanitary Board. PROPOSES 8-CENT LEVY Slash in Salaries to Mean Lessened Efficiency, Asserts Ross. Warning against "false economy" that may endanger lives of every resident of Indianapolis, O. C. Ross, member of the city sanitary board, today submitted his budget proposal for the department to officials. Ross asserted his open opposition to any wage cuts and proposed an 8-cent levy for the department in order that it will be able to operate without a deficit. Content of the outline remained secret as it was studied by finance experts, but Ross plainly set out in his letter to them that, he believed city employes here are underpaid. His stand on many questions directly is opposed to that of B. J. T. Jeup, head of the department, who Thursday said budget reduction of $50,000 for 1932 should be made by cutting wages ‘of laborers and department heads. Should Apply to AU Ross said if a 10 per cent pay reduction is ordered, it should apply in all city departments, and not be a burden to only 150 of the 300 employes of the sanitary district. “There can be no considerable saving without reduction of service rendered,” Ross asserted. "Although I am fully in accord with economy to reduce taxes, it would be folly to practice false economy in a department protecting public health. "There should be no interference or disturbance of a department which affects every man. woman and child in the city, and also visitors Would Halt Repairs "To reduce the appropriation would mean reduction of pay and curtailment of operations everywhere. It would halt permanent, repairs to equipment and be uneconomical over all. "It. would reduce ash and garbage collections and stop permanent improvements. allowing only, most meager operation of the sewage disposal plant. Ross also went into facts he said were uncovered in his investigation of pay in various city departments here and in santary departments in cities comparable to Indianapolis. He said here wages are lower than in other places, differing from Jeup’s assertions that sanitary employes are better paid. Presents Alternative "If it is necessary to reduce salaries in the sanitary district, the reduction should be made uniform throughout the department and a corresponding reduction in every other city department.” he said. "Economy should be directed with judgment and should be general. It should not be done by selecting special departments and forcing them to carry the burden of such a program.” The present, tax levy of the district is 5 cents and board members are seeking to place the 1932 levy within that mark, although Jeup on Thursday admit tied an 8-cent levy really is needed. OPPOSES EXTRA SESSION Senator Watson Says Congress Can Approve Debt Holiday in Time. By Vn ited Press WASHINGTON. July 24.—Senator James E. Watson, majority floor leader, said he would oppose an extra session of congress in November for organization purposes, as proposed Thursday by Representative Allen T. Treadway (Rep., Mass.) of the ways and means committee. Watson, after conferring with President Hoover, said an organization session would not be necessary. He said the house could elect a temporary Speaker in time to approve the debt moratorium before Dec. 15 when foreign payments otherwise would be due.

Bea Sport "To strangers he is Just another dog. but to us he is— Jeff. “Our little fox terrier has been gone since June 21. and it would be difficult for any one to realize how much vre have missed him unless they have had a similar experience.” Mrs. E. P. Eggleton. 5138 Kenwood avenue, told The Times today. "We have spent quite a sum advertising for him. but with not results. Now if the person who has him will bring him back some night and drop him within a square of our house. I am sure that if they could witness the happy reunion, they would be paid for the slight trouble.

‘NO JOB-SOI stole; admits EXILEDBOY, 13 ‘I Want Money for Candy and for Shows,’ Says John Tooley. HE KNOWS IT’S WRONG ‘But What Are You Going to Do?’ Is Way He Puts It. BY ARCH STEINEL Tines Staff Correspondent PLAINFIELD. Ind., July 24 “When you can’t get a job, then the only way to get money is to steal.” This is the logic born of inactivity in a small Indiana town that caused John Tooley. 13, to be banished from Gibson coutny by Circuit Judge Claude Smith and later sent to the Indiana Boys’ school at Plainfield. In field overalls and scratching now and then his freshly shaven head—badge of a newcomer at the school—John told today how his side trip off the path of rectitude was lined with milk botltes hooked off front porches, chickens lifted out- of neighbors’ roosts and tools taken, so "I could get a nickel to spend.” He Knows His Wrongs John knows stealing is wrong but he puts it up to you this way: "I want money. I want it for candy, shows. I’d like clothes. Ts I had a job. I wouldn’t steal. But how you going to get money if you haven’t a job, unless you steal?” he questioned his questioner. "If I could have a. dollar a week to spend, I wouldn't steal,” he declares. “But why, John,’ interposed O W Negus, superintendent of the school, “why did you run away from your grandmother’s home in Oakland City and later go to your father's place in Princeton?” Is This Feeble-Minded? “There wasn’t much to eat at grandma’s. She had to take in; washing to feed us. I didn't get any | spending money. I knew 7 she needed i all the money to feed me and the I rest of us in the family, so I left.) She'd have one less to feed,” the, boy replied as he fingered his straw hat. This is the logic purveyed by boy that Judge Smith calls “feebleminded” and that is termed “dull” by school authorities. It is as much the logic of weak grownups, as much a problem these times of depression, as it is with John. John’s in the third grade at the boys’ school. He admits he doesn’t (Turn to Page 2)

STATEHOUSE ‘BATH’ JOB IS SUIT TARGET

Contractor Guy Sallee Says Award Is Fraudulent; Asks Receiver, State officials, including Governor Harry G. Leslie, were scored today in a damage and injunction suit filed in superior court two, in which a receiver for funds used ©t pay for the statehouse cleaning and an injunction to prevent payment are sought. The suit was filed by Guy Sallee, Indianapolis building cleaner, who charges the $64,800 state contract for cleaning the statehouse, given William Storen of the Cincinnati Building and Cleaning Company, was awarded illegally. Sallee asks SIO,OOO damages, asserting he was cheated out of this amount of profit when the officials refused to accept his $35,000 cleaning bid. Bid Was Ignored The complaint alleged Sallee offered his bid June 26, but he says the officials “conspired to keep me out of the job.” He also charged they refused to consider his bid and the suit brands the contract with the Cincinnati firm as “exorbitant and grossly fraudulent.” “There was no notice of competitve bidding,” it is alleged. “The contract was let secretly and clandestinely and is injurious to the plaintiff and taxpayers, and contrary to public policy.” Several Officials Named Battle has flared over the statehouse cleaning job since it was revealed that no steps were taken for receipt of competitive bids. Salleq carried the battle to the statehouse and now to the courts. Officials, in addition to the Governor. made defendants in the suit are Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state; Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor; Frank Caylor, building superintendent, and Storen. Fred Barrett is the attorney for Sallee. STUDY BLACKTOP MIXLTp Further Action Is Undecided; Ogden Is Against Appeal.

100,000 TO ASK STEVE PARDON Society Formed to Work for Release. Within two months, petitions bearing 100,000 signatures will ask Governor Harry G. Leslie to pardon D. C. Stephenson, former Klan dragon, serving a life imprisonment term at Michigan City state prison for the murder of Miss Madge Oberholtzer, it was predicted today. That prophecy came from heads of “The Organization for Pardon of D. C. Stephenson,” a group of one hundred persons who banded this week to work for the ex-klan leader’s release. “This is not a religious organization nor a political clique”, said Elias W. Dulberger,- legal head of the society. “We feel he has been in prison long enough for what he has done. ’ Headquarters of the organization are at 405 Inland Bank building. Henry Kottkamp is chairman. Dulberger said the petitions would be circulated throughout Indiana, and declared he was confident at least 100,000 signatures would be obtained within sixty days.

DEATH WISH VOICED BY SLEUTH SLAYER

(Picture on Page 2) By United Press FT. WAYNE. Ind., July 24,-The one expressed wish today of George Adams, who was shot in the neck Wednesday night in a gunfight in which two federal prohibition agents were killed, was that the bullet which barely missed his brain had "gone just two inches farther.” Adams, who was sent to Leavenworth prison for bootlegging in 1929 and paroled seven months ago, appeared calmly indifferent as he reenacted the battle for officials. It was while the bullet was being gouged from his neck that he made his only remark indicating his reaction to the slayings. "That was a close shave. It missed the base of your brain only a couple of inches,” remarked a physician. "I wish it had killed me,” Adams replied. Adams was held to the grand jury without bond on charges of first degree murder in connection with the deaths of agents John I. Wilson, Indianapolis, and Walter M. Gilbert, Cincinnati. C. E.

GRAF ZEPPELIN ARRIVES IN BERLIN, STARTING DARING IQURNEY TO NORTH POLE Huge Ship in Perfect Condition as It Leaves fa Friedrichshafen; Eckener Discounts Danger of .Voyage. ARCTIC LANDING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE Sixteen Passengers on Board; Scientists Expect to Gain Valuable Knowledge of Frozen Wastes of Northland. By United Press BERLIN, July 24.—Successfully completing the first lap of its flight to the Arctic, the dirigible Graf Zeppelin aru rived over Berlin at 4:30 t .m. today. The craft had started from Friederichshafen at 9:50 a. m. A successful landing was made at Staaken airport, in the suburbs, at 6:03 p. m. By United Press FRIEDRICHSHAFEN. Germany. July 24.—The Graf Zeppelin started north today on the first phase of its flight to the north pole. The giant dirigible moved into the air at 9:50 a. m. and speeded rapidly across Germany toward Berlin, the first stop on its most daring voyage since the dirigible circled the world in 1929. Dr. Hugo Eckener, in command, said the big airship was in perfect condition for the cruise over hundreds of miles of frozen arctic wastes, where a landing would be perilous, if not impossible. A test flight over Lake Constance showed the ship was ready for the flight.

The sixteen passengers and thirty members of the crew were ordered on board early, so the start might not be delayed. The route lay northeastward toward Leningrad, according to the original schedule, and thence almost due north toward the pole. Interest in the voyage has increased rather than diminished in recent weeks, despite the fact the Graf Zeppelin will not make contract near the north pole with the submarine Nautilus, commanded by Sir Hubert Wilkins. The Nautilus was damaged in crossing the Atlantic and the delay made the Arctic rendezvous impossible. Object Is Scientific The dirigible may make contact with the Soviet icebreaker Malygin, on its way north from Archangel on a sight-seeing tour of the Arctic. However, its principal object is scientific, and the results are awaited eagerly in Germany. Dr. Eckener, president of the Aeroarctic society, was busy to the last moment supervising the remodeling of a. part of the Zeppelin to accommodate new apparatus. The lower bunks in the passenger compartment were ripped out to accommodate the cameras for photographing Arctic scenery. Compartments were added to the underside for release of little Radio-weather-observation balloons. The dirigible carried a gyro-com-pass which approaches zero on the astronomic pole in the polar regions, since it is dependent on the speed of the earth’s revolution. Compass Disturbed in Arctic The magnetic compass also suffers great disturbances once taken into the magnetic area in the north—and Dr. Eckener will have to cope with these conditions in navigating his airship on a true course over unknown wastelands. Lincoln C. Ellsworth of Hudson, 0., American arctic explorer, was listed among the passengers, representing the American Geographical Society. Other passengers include Lieuten-ant-Commander Edward H. Smith of the United States Coast Guard service, Washington, and a group of European scientists from several countries, including Soviet Russia, who will make observations during the cruise. The course of the Graf Zeppelin will lie to Leningrad, Russia, over Archangel, north over Hooker is-

In re-enacting the battle, Adams indicated he would contend that one of the officers fired at him first. Gilbert's body was sent to Los Angeles Thursday night for funeral services and burial. Wilson’s body was acompanied by Mrs. Wilson, who came here, to his former home in Rockwell City, la. Adams is a native of Poland and received his final American naturalization papers shortly before his country entered the World war. He then enlisted in the American army and served for twenty-nine months. His name before he changed it was Adamski. He is married and has two children. He is a barber, and worked at that trade when a prisoner at Leavenworth. According to those who know him well, he likes to wear snappy clothes spend money freely and drive highpriced cars.

Semlja to Archangel, Leningrad and Friedrichshafen. The route will be subject to changed necessitated by weather conditions. Dr. Eckener was confident of success and minimized the danger of the big ship's sky journey over the pole. INDIANA NOW RANKS 13TH IN ILLITERACY, 43,721 Persons Above Age of 1® Can't Read or Write.
